The Rolling Stones

In December 1981, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of their American Tour 1981, promoting their album "Tattoo You," which had been released earlier that year in August. "Tattoo You" marked a significant turning point for the band as it blended classic rock elements with then-contemporary sounds, producing hits like "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend." The Tempe concert at Sun Devil Stadium on December 13 was part of this tour and later featured in the concert film "Let's Spend the Night Together," directed by Hal Ashby, which captured the band's energy during that era. The performance of "Shattered," a standout track from the album "Some Girls," showcases the band's ability to engage large audiences with their dynamic stage presence and musical prowess. This live recording highlights not just their popularity but also their resilience as they continued to thrive in the evolving music landscape of the early '80s.
